Abstract: The study discusses the fact that library is the backbone of academic, excellence and that its work is being complemented by information science through the use of the internet and other Information Technology (ICT) which help information users to save time, energy and resources in their pursuit of needed information. It has however been observed that despite this noble work, anyone who is not grounded in the area of literacy cannot easily access, talkless using the information stored in the library or available on the internet. Thus it will be a waste of time and other resources for various organizations and individuals to make information available through these channels if the targeted audience cannot tap such information and use it constructively. Therefore, this study suggests what should be done in the area of literacy that will help to make the services of the library and other information outlets fully beneficial to individuals and the society.
